Hurricane

David Wiesner

Clarion Books, 1992

Kat's Kind Review
The book Hurricane by David Wiesner was an excellent book. It teaches children that you don't have to always have the new hi-tech toys to have fun. All you need is your imagination. I would recommend this book to all ages. It was about 2 brothers who are waiting for a ...

David Wiesner

Clarion Books, 1995

great book
I have read this book to my son, who is 4 years old, several times. He loved it. The cover of the book was not very appealing for him at first. But, the story was very interesting and he loved the pictures inside the book. I would definetely recommend it to everyone. ...

Free Fall

HarperTrophy, 1991

A great surprise and a beautiful book
I found this book in a pretty unexpected way. At work, I as putting together a team of people to take on a new problem. None of the members knew each other well and they all knew me even less. I had read once about an ice breaker activity where each person is given ...

The Three Pigs

David Wiesner

Clarion Books, 2001

Stay in the pictures? Sez who?
I am surely not surprised that David Wiesner has joined the world of modern art with this innovative story that jumps right off the pages. Ever heard of that expression: It is so real it jumps out of the pages? Wiesner plays with this concept and has the pigs come out ...

Goth meets ripped gauze
Imagine this Prom scene: girl in sweet, demure, ripped gauzy dress walks in with Gothboy dressed to the nine's in Goth attire. Closer---the girl has a black teardrop tattoed beneath her eye. There, I have just introduced Eve Bunting, writer of sweet and bittersweet ...

Flotsam (Caldecott Medal Book)

David Wiesner

Clarion Books, 2006

In the eye of the mind...
David Wiesner is the Stephen King of illustrated children's books: off-kilter, weird, and supernatural. However, Wiesner underlies all he draws with humor, joy, spunk. He has won the Caldecott Gold Medal three times, for Tuesday, The Three Pigs, and "Flotsam." ...

Tuesday

David Wiesner

Clarion Books, 1997

THIS ONE HAS BEEN AROUND AWHILE AND HOPEFULLY WILL BE AROUND A GREAT WHILE LONGER.
This is a beautifully done work. The story is made up of entirely pictures, beautifully done pictures, with great detail and haunting coloring. There are no words. In this case, to be quite frank, words simply are not needed. The story begins at dusk on Tuesday ...

Fritz Leiber, David Wiesner

Milk & Cookies, 2004

halloween reading!

Over Rainbows and Down Rabbit Holes: The Art of Children's Books
Zora Charles, Lolly Robinson

Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, 2008

From Tumbling into Wonderland by Zora Charles "Literacy should not only include the ability to translate squiggles into letters and words, it should connect us to a universe larger than the one we inhabit, to our shared humanity and to the natural world. And nothing does that better than a well-crafted picture book."

Over Sea, Under Stone (The Dark is Rising Sequence)

Susan Cooper

Aladdin, 2000

Good story, although a slow start
"Over Sea, Under Stone" is the first book in the "The Dark Is Rising" series, and it's a good start. Having said that, I'm enjoying the second book more; it's worth getting through some occasionally dry sections in this book so that you have the background you need to ...
